How do I get my PC to direct the printer to use the PGBK cartridge?

I've pondered this for quite a while, myself. Your question moved me to finally figure it out. First, I checked the instructions I received with the printer. No good. Then, I did a Google search and I found the answer on Canon Community Website: http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Personal-Printers/PIXMA-MX882-questions/td-p/60395. In case the link doesn't come through, the answer is: To use only the Pigment Black or large black ink tank, the following settings must be used: 1. The original text must be black. 2. The paper setting must be set to Plain Paper. 3. The Duplex printing option must be disabled. 4. The Grayscale printing feature must be disabled.

No problems here. Try ejecting the disc, remove all ink cartridges, turn everything off including computer andstart afresh following exactly all sequences in the quick start guide , especially when to power on printer andconnect USB. Set up USB wired first then do wifi if you eventually want to go that way? I run USB to my desktopcomputer and wifi everything else...............

Download an updated driver from hp. But it's hit or miss. Doesn't always work.I eventually used a cable to print.

You Can't, even windows 7 reaches out to Kodak for the drivers for this photo printer, and since Kodak discontinued the drivers, there is no possible way to install this photo printer on any computer anymore!

You can't, period. It is a defective product, bad microchips or something. Toss it and get a new, different printer.

Despite some claims, all do not work with all printers. Return it and get your money back.

I tried tuning the printer off (WP 4530) then loaded the cartridge like others suggested, still no image. Do I need to change the setting?

After downloading the printer drivers, I still find the duplex option is not available - any ideas on how to enable?

I'm sorry I can't help. I use Windows 7. I can say this is one awesome all-in-one printer. I love it.

Yes it is, but I , also, need to use a 250 PGBK, a total of five cartridges.

Sorry, but it has been a few years since I've installed it, I can't remember. I think I followed the instructions in my manual which is how I found out what the problem was. Also my Printer is a Canon Pixma530.

Deborah, I do not know as I use Windows XP only. Good luck with it, but we went back to our old Brother printer

There are drivers for this online. But I'm guessing you must have bought this printer in a garage sale - don't waste your time or money on new ink.

We have an HP Photosmart 7850. It has built in software designed to detect any cartridge that is not an official HP and essentially disable the printer so it won't work. Our works reluctantly with the generic color cartridge and doesn't work at all with a generic black. It sucks but that's the way it works.

Thanks for your help. I did the firmware update and tested the printer, but the problem still persists in my case.

According to the user manual for the MG5420, you need to use PGI-250/CLI-251 cartridges. These are not it, take a look here... http://www.amazon.com/Inkjetcorner-Compatible-CARTRIDGES-PGI-250XL-CLI-251XL/dp/B00EFBEIO4/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A1G5T5TWSAES9H or http://www.amazon.com/Inkjetcorner-Compatible-Cartridge-Replacement-PGI-250/dp/B00D3XHQ9O/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A1G5T5TWSAES9H

my printer never could either. I was told to turn the printer off, remove the cartridges, add the cartridges back, and turn the printer on. it never helped me.
